Cai Jing smiled, but shook his head: "Walking in the book, where can there be flaws." He slowly opened Cai Lun's book sticker, and then looked at Shen Ao's book, sighed, and said very appreciatively: "What kind of font is this?" ”

Then he smiled again, and said with a bit of appreciation: "This post book is much better than Cai Lun's, with a steep and beautiful pen, careful layout, and flowing water, good!" Good! ”

said two good words in a row, but it made everyone look at each other, what does Taishi mean by this? Don't you know who Shen Ao is at all?

Everyone shook their heads secretly, Shen Ao is famous, and he is in the limelight, how could the Taishi not know?

It was everyone who hesitated, but Cai Jing said with a pleasant face: "According to the old man, Shen Ao can be the first, what do you think?" ”

Zhao Chao thought that Cai Jing was talking back, and said with a smile: "Taishi, the lower officials think it is impossible, and the lower officials think that Shen Ao's book is good, but Cai Gongzi's book stickers are better, and the book test is the first, and it is none other than Cai Gongzi." ”

Cai Jing leaned on the back of the chair tiredly, his eyes were cloudy and half opened, he smiled and said, "Lord Zhao, the old man knows your thoughts, although Cai Lun is the great-grandson of the old man, but his skills, the old man knows." If it is said that he enters the palace to take the test, he will never stumble, but if he is said to be the first in the book test, the old man does not believe it. This Shen Ao, the old man has also heard of it, and he has never dared to believe his talent, but when he sees it now, he knows that there is no vain under this fame, good, very good. Besides, Cai Lun is the great-grandson of the old man, you strongly recommend it, the old man understands in his heart, you are trying to fulfill Cai Lun, the old man is the main exam, how can he abolish the public because of private affairs? ”

This remark was full of gravity, and the end was loud, where did Zhao Chao dare to say anything, and they all said: "The Taishi is a model of Shilin when he is virtuous and avoids relatives." ”

Cai Jing just shook his head, took a sip of tea and said: "There is no need to say these words, you can choose the ranking and publish the list immediately." ”

"Yes."

…………………………………… Liu Wen came with news again, since Shen Ao was the first in the book test, Shen Ao listened to it, and at first he didn't believe it, but when Liu Wen came out one by one, he finally believed it; I secretly wondered in my heart, that Cai Jing, could it be that he changed his surname?

Immediately, his heart was awe-inspiring, as he guessed, if Cai Jing upheld justice, then there was only one possibility, and that was not in a hurry to do it to himself.

If this is the case, it makes Shen Ao's heart feel a little weak, you must know that kind of old fox, if he is in a hurry to punish himself, it is okay, Shen Ao is not easy to provoke, there are people in the court and the palace who secretly promote and help. However, if Cai Jing adopts the strategy of slowly trying to figure it out, it is the most dangerous, because he doesn't know when, Cai Jing will suddenly give a fatal blow.

The first book exam, since it is a festive thing, Liu Wen spat and said many rumors in the market, all saying that Shen Ao is the reincarnation of Wenqu Xing, otherwise how can he pass the righteous examination, the book test, and the painting test for three consecutive first, and change others, that is, to fight for this one, it takes a lifetime of hard work, and it is already a thousand difficulties, Shen Ao's move is even three yuan, and he is indeed the first person to be so romantic since the imperial court opened the art examination.

Shen Ao only takes these gossips as a joke, two lives, the most famous art thief, if he even misses the art exam, will he still have the face to see people?

He said modestly to Liu Wen: "Just listen to these things, don't take them seriously, what kind of Wenqu Xing?" If I am really a Wenqu star, I don't want to be reincarnated in this world, and I'd rather go to the sky to pick stars. ”

Liu Wen couldn't help laughing, and went to inform his wife again, the news went all the way, and in a moment, everyone already knew. With the previous painting test first, this book test has diluted a lot of joy, although it is joy and joy, but the people of this country's mansion and so on, but they feel that the young master did not get the first, but it is a rare thing.

After noon, there were quite a few people who came to congratulate them, and many of them were classmates of Guozijian, and these people laughed and laughed, and then went back happily one by one.

The so-called long-term reputation, in fact, for Shen Ao, the opposite effect is gradually coming, in the evening, there is a madman, to compete with him to try the book, to provoke himself, Shen Ao was speechless for a while, knowing that he has become a fragrant glutton, if anyone wins in calligraphy and painting, he can immediately become famous in the world, so this kind of provocative guy will only be more in the future, and hurriedly asked Liu Wen to send this person away.

The second is the Ruan test, the so-called Ruan, is one of the musical instruments, of course, not to call people to play Ruan music in the competition, the test is to compose lyrics, the test question is a word card, the candidate according to the rhythm of the word card, make a word.

Shen Aoci said to take the exam, Song Ci has developed for a hundred years, this can be used as poetry to express emotions, but also can be arranged to lead the singing art has already been greatly developed, a variety of word cards, has been derived from hundreds of kinds, has always been and Tang poetry and called the double unique, all represent the prosperity of a generation.

The word card is a song, which is similar to the repertoire of later generations, and the words are similar to the lyrics, and all kinds of word cards have a fixed system, and filling in the words has become the most enthusiastic thing for all kinds of literati and ink writers. The same lyrics and songs, filled in different words, and sung by people, can naturally express the different moods of literati. Moreover, Song poetry is more acceptable than Tang poetry, after all, Tang poetry is limited to communication between literati, but most of Song poetry can be sung by people, even ordinary peddlers and pawns, can also be appreciated.

The name of the test question is called "Qingyu Case", the so-called Qingyu case, from the Eastern Han Dynasty Zhang Heng: "The beauty gave me a splendid section, how to repay the Qingyu case". Since then, it has been used as a word card, and it has gradually spread, since the Song Dynasty, there are countless words around the Qingyu case, and it is not easy to appear in a new work.

Fortunately, Shen Ao was quite interested in lyrics and songs, but he remembered a poem from the Southern Song Dynasty, and wrote: "The east wind blooms thousands of trees at night, and it blows down, and the stars are like rain." BMW carved cars are full of fragrance. The sound of the phoenix flute moves, the light of the jade pot turns, and the fish and dragon dance all night. The moth snow willow is golden, and the smile is full of dark fragrance. The crowd looked for him thousands of times, and suddenly looked back, but the man was in the place. ”

The gist of the word is that the east wind blows, and countless lanterns sway, as if urging a thousand trees to bloom, and the fireworks are chaotic and falling, and it is like the stars in the sky being blown down, like a shower of stars. Gorgeous fragrant cars and BMWs come and go on the road, and all kinds of intoxicating aromas fill the street. The sound of Feng Xiao's melodious music echoed everywhere, and the moon glowed brightly in the sky, and the brilliance flowed. In the lively night, the colorful lights in the shape of fish and dragons are churning. The beauties are all wearing bright ornaments on their heads and colorful clothes on their bodies, which shake in the crowd. They passed by with a smile on their faces and a faint scent. I looked for her a thousand times, but I didn't see her, and when I turned around, I saw her standing in the middle of the light.

This poem is very famous in later generations, and it is a well-known Southern Song Dynasty lyricist Xin Qiji, Shen Ao originally wanted to compose his own lyrics, since the crossing he has studied a lot of word cards, and consulted a few doctors, but he is quite eager to try lyrics.

In fact, it is not difficult to fill in the words, the difficult thing is the foundation, most of the famous poets in history are officials who have taken the imperial examination, with the foundation as the base, Shen Ao can still make two poems, such as "Bodhisattva Man" and "Like a Dream Order", although it is thousands of miles worse than those big words, but after all, it is his own hard work, and he is quite proud in his heart.

It's just that he didn't involve the word card of this Qingyu case, so he had no choice but to pinch it.

hurriedly handed in the papers, the next time it was a list, Shen Ao's Ruan Kao only got the third, for this, he was not too surprised, this poem is a masterpiece through the ages, but comparing the quality of a word, not just look at its rhetoric, the focus is on arousing people's resonance, the examiner can see some clues, and know that Shen Ao is completely imaginary, although the words have a long artistic conception and gorgeous rhetoric, but they are all shaking their heads.

Shen Ao looked at the list, and only shook his head slightly, but he didn't have too much emotion, if this poem was placed in the Southern Song Dynasty, it would have alarmed the four seats, but in Bianliang, the red and pink atmosphere of Jinling could not touch people's inner emotions.

This Ruan test passed, but what really gave Shen Ao a headache was the jade test. The jade examination is to appreciate antiques, about this, Shen Ao's appreciation level is not low, it can be said unabashedly, Shen Ao thinks that his appreciation level is by no means below anyone, and he ate this line of food in his previous life, not to mention appreciation, even if it is forged, it can be faked to the point of being fake.

Although he thinks so, but Shen Ao's pressure is not light, he has promised the prince of the country and the county that he must prevent the eldest prince from winning the championship, and although Shen Ao has not seen the strength of the eldest prince, he has also heard a little about his strength from the people around him, this great prince is extremely talented, and has a sensitive nose, coupled with the cultivation since childhood, his level of appreciation is already extraordinary, and his level may not be below Shen Ao.

Shen Aozi is not afraid of any great prince, but when he thinks of Zhou Zheng and Quartz's instructions, he feels a little pressure, and the problem has developed to the present, it is no longer as simple as the exam, but also about the battle between the prince and the prince in the court.

Since you are a human being, no matter where you are, no matter how pure your heart and few desires, fighting is inevitable, in fact, Shen Ao has been involved in it from the beginning, and he is naturally not afraid to fight, but if he makes a mistake, Shen Ao feels that it is difficult to explain to others.

When the second jade exam was approaching, Shen Ao was full of energy again, thinking to himself, no matter what kind of prince he is, buddies block killing, Buddha blocks killing Buddha, but I want to see what level this big prince is.
